The report of the gun came in on Monday, January 11, 2016. However, the gun photo was allegedly taken on Friday, January 8, 2016.

A parent and a student reported the gun the following Monday and the school administration was able to identify the student quickly once it was reported. The student has since been kicked out of school, according to Sheriff Arnold.

James Evans, spokesperson for the schools, told WGNS in an email: "We conducted an investigation along with the sheriff's office, which resulted in irrefutable evidence that the student brought a handgun to school. As such, the student has been expelled under the district's zero tolerance policy."
